On June 7th, 1927, Jack answered his telephone.
“Jack? This is George Marion . . . from the 24th Aero Squadron in France . . . I chased the kraut off your tail the day you crashed at Souilly Aerodrome during the War.”
Duty-bound to help the man who saved his life, Jack agrees to the fighter pilot’s urgent plea and finds himself embroiled in a fifty year-old mystery in ancient Indian ruins in the New Mexico desert of Chaco Canyon. Myths and facts interweave in a blanket of suspense and intrigue while Jack and his friends struggle to pierce his war-time comrade’s deceits to learn the true purpose of their mission – and survive.
Obligation Flight is the second in a series of Jack Riley mysteries. In Jack’s first adventure, The Babylon Hoard, he solved the 1,000 year old riddle of The Key – hidden by an ancient Babylonian king, found by Crusaders, brought to America by Maryland Colonists – and finally deciphered by Jack and his friends.
